Sadly, Nevada's senators haven't given their constituents the same opportunity. Sen. Reid has called Americans like these "evil-mongers" and Sen. Ensign has apparently been too busy to have a real town-hall meeting. Both have claimed to be holding telephone town halls, but only Sen. Reid has scheduled one. It's supposedly to be held today at some point, but I wouldn't know because Sen. Reid wouldn't allow me to participate.

That's not good enough for Nevada's citizens, and they have made their voices heard. One place they did that this week was outside the Four Seasons Hotel, where Sen. Reid answered pre-selected questions in front of a paying Chamber of Commerce crowd. I shot some video of those patriotic Americans, but unfortunately, I have not been able to edit it as quickly as I told some attendees I would. (If you were there, my sincerest apologies. I'm going to try to work something together over the weekend.)

All that being said, there still is one more chance to make your voice heard, meet fellow freedom lovers and have a great time. The Tea Party Express Bus is coming to Nevada.
